Dendritic cells, loaded with recombinant bacteria expressing tumor antigens, induce a protective tumor-specific response.

Abstract excerpt

Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered the most potent antigen-presenting cells and probably the only ones able to prime naive T cells. Indeed, DCs are distributed in tissues that interface the external environment, where they act as sentinels for incoming bacteria, viruses, and fungi. We have previously analyzed the capacity of DCs to interact with bacteria, and we have shown that bacteria can act as "Trojan...
